Sweaters with tons of glittery/sparkly patterns on them.
The loudest talking is behind backs.
Portuguese is a language that is only to be SHOUTED. At the TABLE. With mouths full of bread pudding, octopus soup or port wine.

I was really bummed by Mickey's appearance. I was hoping it was a bit, but, what you saw was what we got.

And yes, the laughter can get annoying, but without it the show would be microwaved death. We don't have a "live audience", can't afford it (yet), so we have interns and the same dedicated staff of "flaughers" (fake laughers) show after show. To be honest, without them, the show wouldn't be worth doing. Genuinely cracking them up is what I live for on a daily basis. I genuinely crack them up about once a week... but I'm getting better! Maybe!

I think our show should be live on-site (perhaps as a premium feed) and fully archived a day or two later. I've been told there are affiliate agreements and all sorts of red-tape that prohibit us from doing this, but I'll likely bring the subject up again soon. I want everyone to see us, even if they have to be forced Clockwork Orange style.

I fell in love with the BBS community at a very early age. Naturally, that lead to a fascination with the early internet. The ability to interact with people outside of my small town was too compelling. When I was twelve, I had my own Internet Service Provider and gobs of bandwidth -- so I launched a small radio show (you kids call 'em PODCASTS these days :) and that snowballed into a video show...

I love music. And activism. I don't have the proper amount of time to take either as seriously as I'd like to (at the moment), but one day I'll get it together.

Thanks for doing this Kevin, although I question the sanity of voluntarily walking into the lion’s den.

Boom! You’re in charge of G4 and have a free 40 million to spend on programming. What shows would you create and which shows would you cancel?

If you were put in charge of Attack of the Show, what changes would you make?

Are you ever free to give honest feedback on the products you review or are your hands pretty much tied?

I always felt like you had a certain degree of contempt for your co-hosts. Maybe not contempt, but almost like you were kindly allowing a favored puppy to sit on the couch while hoping it wouldn’t pee. True?

Do you ever send drunk emails to Sara Lane that say, “Kevin Rose. Good call on that one. Amirite?”

Gone are the Cops, Cheaters, Meth-smoker marathons. That's first and foremost (and a direction I believe the network is quickly heading in regardless). I would take ten million and use that to spin up tons of smaller/shorter format shows (ala Google/YouTube incubator) and give premium on-air shelf-space to the properties that stick. Then, I would immediately give myself a 30 million "boats and hoes" bonus. Done.

Live audience. Twice the staff. We are way under-resourced with relation to "major tv shows". Spoiler.

We (Attack) pride ourselves on being the most honest show on television. I'm surprised companies still send us products to review, to be honest. :)

I was FREE. That's how I got it. I was the PA on G4tv.com at the time, and they needed someone who could provide live commentary over gaming footage. I lied and said I could read teleprompter, they bought it, the rest was history.

My style was "Amber Alert" mustache, frosted tips and a Canadian Tuxedo.

One time, someone took their penis out in the control room. It made someone cry. One of those people MAY have been a Gladiator.

I watch Starcraft replays even though I have no fucking clue what's going on. Great announcers make everything watchable. But I still think the games themselves are too confusing for casual viewers to grasp. The premium digital distribution model is perfect for this type of content.

I love music. And tech. So, it was a natural fit, highlighting the crossroads of the two. I was told nobody cares about music programming, and audiences don't want to "learn". I beg to differ. So, I created The Playlist with the help of some amazing folks and we hope to turn it into a great show/brand.

I have a lot of music gear that I don't get to use enough. APC40, Roland TD20 Kit, Kaoscillators, NI Maschine, etc.

I think we are clearly headed towards a "kickstarted" future. Physical products, media, activism, etc. Legislation just passed allowing crowd-sourcing for small business and whatnot. I'm a huge supporter, and plan to Kickstart certain aspects of my leetUP live tour.

Also, I saw Takedown. It's not a game I'm particularly interested in (stylistically), but I encourage indie developers (especially on the PC) to keep creating amazing things. I hope they reach their target.

I just wanted to come here and say that I've been watching you since "Arena" back when i was in the 8th grade. Unfortunately I haven't had a TV for several months so i haven't been able to keep up but, You have been a major part of my growing up and thanks for all the good work!

My question is, what are the office parties like? I assume they are at least interesting.

Thanks kpereira for creating this AMA. I've created the below to make it easier for people to find all responses as well as see them in the right order
